Some businesses find it preferable to host their servers on-site, but they fail to ask themselves if the server is a reliable asset or a financial drain. For years, the argument was in favor of on-premise hardware due to control and a one-time purchase price. But the landscape has shifted since, and now business owners are prioritizing Total Cost of Ownership over control. Do you *really* know how much your physical servers are costing you, and do you think they are worth that price point?
